The 35-year-old, whose real name is Kisean Anderson, was crushed and kept clasping his hands and crying as jurors read their decision to convict the two of wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

He was accused of a $1 million scheme involving luxury goods alongside Turner, 62.

Turner has been remanded into federal custody and was taken away by U.S. Marshals as Sean Kingston cried and told them, “Protect my mother.”

Turner was remanded as a flight risk, in part, the judge said, because of her testimony on the stand.

Kingston chose not to testify on his own behalf.

During the trial, presented several alleged victims who claimed they were all swindled out of high-dollar luxury goods, including things like a colossal TV, a bulletproof Cadillac Escalade and even hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of watches from jewelers.

All items were seized in a raid on Kingston’s Southwest Ranches home.

The judge said Turner showed throughout the trial that she was the “fixer, the nerve center” and in control of the fraud scheme. She also has similar past convictions on her record.

6 p.m. report:

Kingston’s defense painted him as a “child” who had no knowledge about finances and would spend too much money.

Kingston was immediately placed on home detention, but has to meet bond requirements by Thursday, including a $200,000 surety bond in cash, plus putting up a relative’s $500,000 house.

Kingston and his defense team had nothing to say as they walked out of the courthouse.

Sentencing for both is set for July 11: 9 a.m. for Turner and 11 a.m. for Kingston.

Wire fraud carries a federal prison sentence of up to 20 years.
